Haisheng Mingdi

Chapter 291
Suzhou, Kunshan.

Yushi Zhang Weixi stood proudly in front of Li Chengdong, and asked sharply, "Li Chengdong, are you guilty?"

Li Chengdong knelt helplessly in front of this seventh-rank censor, "The last general is guilty of dereliction of duty."

"Hmph, it's quite honest. His Majesty the Emperor of Beijing and His Royal Highness the Emperor Regent are very dissatisfied with the serious dereliction of duty of the generals of the Jiangnan Green Camp, and ordered strict punishment. When Yan Jinglue reads the current employment, I will give you one time." The opportunity to atone for your crimes makes you commit crimes and make meritorious deeds."

"From now on, Li Chengdong, deputy commander in chief of Jiading, will be demoted to the rank of general and will still be in command of the headquarters. All the officers in the department will be demoted by one rank, and their salary will be fined for three months."

Li Chengdong gritted his teeth and took the order.

"Report!"

A soldier of Li Chengdong rushed over anxiously, "General, it's not good. Jiading City was attacked by Ming thieves from Chongming Island, who colluded with the squires in Jiading City. All the brethren were taken captive."

Li Chengdong was shocked, "How could Jiading be destroyed, and there are Liuhebao, Wusong City and Baoshan City along the coast?"

"It has also been breached by Chongming's Ming thief navy."

"After the thief broke through Jiading, he went to Taicang again, and it is estimated that he will go to Kunshan after that."

Jiading was Li Chengdong's garrison, he had just been demoted to a general because of his ineffectiveness, if Jiading was lost again, the general might not be able to hold on.

The generals Zhang Guozhu and Gao Jinzhong looked at Li Chengdong with different expressions. They were originally from the Ming army on Chongming Island. Who knew that the Ming army is so fierce now that the offense and defense are completely different. These two guys started to move there again. Thoughts.

Li Chengdong looked at them and knew what they were doing.

"Break camp immediately and go to Suzhou."

"To Suzhou?"

"Well, join forces with General Yang Chengzu and Tufantai."

Governor Tu Guobao lost Suzhou and was relegated to the position of chief minister. This is the case when he regained Suzhou. Now he has lost Jiading, but he thinks he has no ability to regain Jiading, so he plans to invest in Tu National Treasure, at least hold together for warmth .

As long as there are soldiers in hand, it should not be the worst.

Li Chengdong pulled out his camp immediately, leaving Kunshan alone, and went straight to Suzhou City.

He rushed to the foot of Suzhou City, and Tu Guobao had just returned, and he was recruiting the soldiers and civilians of Suzhou to build the city wall of Suzhou. After Wu Shengzhao took Suzhou earlier, the governor of Ming Dynasty, Shen Youlong, came over and ordered the city wall to be demolished, the moat to be filled, and even many canals to be filled. Many bridges were demolished.

As a result, the roads and canals in Suzhou are blocked, especially the city of Suzhou has been evacuated again, a large number of craftsmen have been forcibly relocated, and many people have fled the city and have not returned until now.

Suzhou has lost at least [-]% of its population.

Seeing Li Chengdong and Yang Chengzu leading troops coming, Tu Guobao ordered very bluntly, "Stop them, don't allow them to enter the city, whoever dares to force their way, will be killed without mercy."

Although he has changed from a governor to a right minister, Tu Guobao still regards Suzhou as his territory, and the new governor has not yet been appointed, so the original governor is still under the command of Cao Hu, Zou Xixiang, Yang Guohai, etc. Naturally, he still has the final say .

He didn't want Li Chengdong and the others to enter Suzhou City.

When these soldiers came in, they were not allowed to provide food and drink. Even when they robbed the people, they had to wipe their asses. Now Suzhou City is in chaos.

Li Chengdong waited outside the city for a long time, but in the end he waited for a thank-you order to close the door, and his face turned red and white with anger.

"Why?"

Li Chengdong was very angry, lost Jiading, and couldn't enter Suzhou, he was like a stray dog.

But what he said in a daze, Tu Guobao's subordinates just wouldn't let them enter the city.

Zhang Guozhu leaned in front of Li Chengdong, "General, this Suzhou city is full of gaps now, and we can't defend against us at all. If you want me to say, let's stop being polite to his mother, what do you really think of us soldiers? Want to beat us up?" Just beat it, kick it if you want?"

"Thousands of our brothers have knives, guns, and even cannons in their hands. Since they don't treat us as human beings, then we don't need to listen to them anymore. Just learn from Wu Shengzhao and force us to a dead end. Then we will turn against him."

Gao Jinzhong also said, "You might as well break into Suzhou City and rob it, and then let's learn from Wu Shengzhao and use Suzhou City to surrender to the Ming army."

"Yes, I heard that after Wu Shengzhao came to the Ming Dynasty, he was made an earl and still an admiral, so we are not much worse than him, at least we have to be a deputy general, right?"

"General, fuck him, that bastard of the country, has long been unhappy with him."

A group of Qiuba became ruthless, but they didn't care about it. Yan Wogong repeatedly persecuted them, demoted their official positions one after another, and they took Chongming within a time limit. Now they not only failed to take Chongming, but even lost their jurisdictional defense area. This matter can no longer be explained.

Since there is no way out, it is the other way around.

Wu Shengzhao has already shown his appearance in the front, so they have to follow suit.

Li Chengdong hesitated a bit.

It was originally the Ming army, surrendered to the Qing army, and now it is about to surrender to the Ming again. This repeated repetition inevitably makes people hesitate, but thinking that there is no way out now, and the news of Jiading's fall has been reported to Jiangning, I don't know how Yan Wogong will deal with him. .

"General, think about Zhang Cunren and Xiao Qiyuan in Hangzhou. Those two belong to the Han army flag, and their status is much higher than ours. My father Yan cut them all, and it is useless for anyone to intercede."

"He probably won't hesitate to chop us up."

"That's right, damn it, I don't stay here, I have my own place, we have thousands of people, what are we afraid of?"

Zhang Guozhu had followed Chen Wu to fight against Lu Jianguo in eastern Zhejiang, and also captured his Zhoushan, and fought against Ningbo City, but now he doesn't care about these things, and he is still willing to vote for Lu Jianguo, because he feels that he is in his hands. If you have thousands of capital, you will not be afraid to go anywhere.

It's like Huang Binqing also fought against Lu Jianguo before, isn't Su Lubo still the admiral of the navy now?
"Then wait until dark!"

Li Chengdong thought it over and over again, and finally made up his mind. Since this land is the only national treasure, don't blame him for being unjust.

He sent someone to see Tu Guobao, saying that he wanted to borrow some food and grass, and then went to retake Jiading.

Tu Guobao could accept this request, but he didn't have much food and grass, so he could only squeeze out a thousand stones of food for him. Li Chengdong was very grateful, and he didn't think it was too little, and said to rest for a night and leave early tomorrow morning.

In the middle of the night, Li Chengdong was fully armored, leading a group of generals including Zhang Guozhu, Gao Jinzhong, and his own Chinese army Du Yonghe, and launched a surprise attack on Suzhou City in the dark.

In Suzhou City, which is full of gaps, although Tu Guobao is very wary of Li Chengdong outside the city, when they really come to kill, they can only fight with their swords.

The two sides fought fiercely in the middle of the night, and finally Li Chengdong and others entered the city through many openings in the city wall of Suzhou. In the middle of the night in the street fighting, Tu Guobao was defeated, so he had to flee in a panic, leading more than a hundred family members to flee in embarrassment at dawn.

Li Chengdong finally captured Suzhou City, and after beheading a few standard battalion officers who were national treasures, he included all the other captive soldiers in his own army.

"Go to Taihu Lake to look for Governor Shen. I, Li Chengdong, resisted the Qing anyway and took over Suzhou City again. Governor Shen, please hurry up and receive it!"

Taihu Lake, Xishan Island.

It is not far from Suzhou City. Shen Youlong and Wu Shengzhao have just returned from Suzhou City. They are also busy moving materials and demolishing the city to fill the river. They are also very busy.

"Report, Ministry Hall, there was a fierce battle in Suzhou City last night. Li Chengdong invaded Suzhou City, and the national treasure was defeated and fled. Li Chengdong sent someone to report that he had surrendered anyway, and asked the governor to send someone to take over Suzhou City."

Shen Youlong was stunned,
"Suzhou City was captured again?"

"Is Li Chengdong anyway?"

Sighing, "I just came back from Suzhou."

The inspector Gu Yanwu smiled and said, "Why don't you let the officials go to Suzhou City again to find out."

"It would be a good thing if Li Chengdong really turned his back on him."

Shen Youlong nodded, "I just feel a little sorry for Mr. Tu. He just sent us a bunch of IOUs and redeemed Suzhou City. It was taken away again. He won't think that we don't talk about it." Be honest, right?"

"This time it was Li Chengdong who snatched it, it has nothing to do with us."

"Hahaha!" Several people rarely laughed easily.
